Advice Needed - Student Son's housemate threatening violence !

[d000hg]

Time he learned to be a grown up and resolve conflicts?

Why is he living with this person?

[vetran]

First thing make sure the Police have it correct, he has got the first accusation in. That is recorded and if unchallenged will bite your son in the butt later. You want it clear who the scrote is and agreed by the police. The threats and violence then straight to police suggest this isn't this guys / families first Rodeo.

Not sure how but I suggest a word with the family lawyer / Solicitor.

Friend of ours who was having some problems, in the middle of divorce etc got in an argument with the lady upstairs who was a lot odd and whose kids were constantly in trouble. The woman from upstairs accused her of hitting her kid (not something I would expect of her) called the Police and she got a caution despite denying it.


Get a statement from the other guy.

Get him out before it escalates.

Good luck!

If he is at uni then I am guessing he is at least 18, so tell him to get a can of man-up and deal with it himself and not go running to mummy and daddy.

That's an absurd statement, it's obviously his first time away from home and he's had the good sense to ask advice.

If there have been threats of violence and the rozzers involved then it's clear something needs to be done and in a way to maintain the legal upper hand, the SU and student welfare people at the Uni will have come across similar situations before, I'd make those my 1st 2 ports of call if I was the lad.

The "little" boy's mother will just ensure her son goes to the police and the son and the other housemate will get at least cautioned by the police. She has gone to the police already so don't expect her to change her tune.

Never accept a caution, it's an admission of guilt and can affect things like security clearance later on.

Better to fight it in the courts, at least you have better than the 0% chance of being innocent with a caution

Life is too short and shorter still when you need the focus for study.

Life with 'focus for study' sounds more like it's too bloody long. I spent the best part of three years womanising, playing rugby and getting plastered at the taxpayer's expense and nobody ever said anything about 'needing the focus for study'.

That explains a lot

Never was much of a party chap. When I was 14 my bedroom looked like this:



By the time I was 18 I tried to build a particle accelerator but an adult stopped me energising the waveguide I removed from an old microwave, pah, parents.

Don't feed the twattish trolls Suze.

Oh MP, and there's me thinking you were flirting...

At the end of the day, people who deal in violence, rarely understand anything other than violence. You're empowering him by being scared, that's how bullies feed. This wouldn't happen to my kids, it just wouldn't. It would be sorted out very quickly. Seriously, just you and a couple of friends, get hold of the little bastard, beat the tulip out of him and tell him it stops or the beatings don't. It would stop very quickly. Don't tell your kid you're doing it, keep him offline, just make sure the little tulip moves out.

As I said, if he's a bully, which it appears, just letting him run riot, is empowering him.

Start recording incidents. Line up a mate to replace the trouble maker.

Pay big ex con to live in the flat for a bit instead of your son - that should teach the bully a lesson.
